It is all about connections! 🌐     At least in the energy sector, this can be true 😉 Let’s #discoverDHCprojects together and learn about SENERGY NETS which demonstrates the technical and economic capabilities of #multienergysystems (MES). These systems combine various aspects of the energy sector, including #electricity, #heating 🔥 and #cooling ❄, with buildings 🏢, transport 🚍 and industry 🏭.     We aim to reduce the carbon footprint 👣 of the heating and cooling sector by using renewable energy sources and enhancing their #flexibility, #costefficiency, and #reliability through promising infrastructure and business models.    The Senergy Nets four core objectives are:  ⚡ Improve flexibility of MES  🔗 Deploy sector integration  🛠 Create smart #digital tools and platforms  ⬆ Develop promising business models    Find out more about the project 👉 https://bit.ly/3WpZiOV   Subscribe to our newsletter ➡ https://bit.ly/3NdAs1d      EIFER - European Institute for Energy Research | A2A | EDF | Associazione Italiana Riscaldamento Urbano - AIRU | Euroheat & Power | Elektro Ljubljana d.d.| Operato | Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico - RSE SpA | Unareti | Mälardalen University| University of Kassel | Dalkia | TECNALIA Research & Innovation | Veolia | Veolia España | University of Ljubljana, Faculty Of Mechanical Engineering | #FederconsumatoriMilano | ARTTIC | CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

Intuitively it makes sense that microgrids are a good idea. There are many of us that want that to be the case and for good reason. They have the potential to bolster local resilience, increase utilisation of renewable energy sources and give a sense of autonomy back to communities. One of BSGIP’s most substantial pieces of research is drawing to a close. The Southcoast microgrid Reliability Feasibility (SµRF) project is a $3.1 m transdisciplinary project that explores the challenges and benefits of microgrids within an Australian context. Set within the New South Wales south coast shire of Eurobodalla, a region devastated by the 2019-2020 Black Summer, the project took a deep dive into this technology and how it could be integrated into today’s complex and multifaceted energy system. A core strength of BSGIP is that we get to work with industry. As a result, the findings from our research reflect the current state of play, not an idealised version of what the energy system could look like at best. This article focuses on two recently published reports; a technical report that lays out a number of scenarios using real-world data applied to selected sites, and a social science report examining governance, social and regulatory issues under the current system.

🚀 Productive Session at the SUNSON Exploitation Workshop ❗ We had an incredible and insightful session at the recent SUNSON Internal Exploitation Workshop, where our partners collaborated to align and refine our exploitation strategies. 🎯 During the workshop, we explored our Key Exploitable Results (KERs) and Individual Exploitable Results (IERs), emphasizing the commercial, societal, and scientific potential of our innovations. Understanding these elements is crucial to ensuring that the outcomes of our project have real-world impact—whether through commercialization, further research, or licensing. By leveraging tools like #MURAL, we had an interactive space to collaborate on activities that matter most to our mission: ✔ Identifying target groups and stakeholders 🏢, ✔ Defining a strong business model 💼, and ✔ Conducting competitor analysis, SWOT, and PEST analysis 📊. These insights are essential as we continue refining the roadmap to bring innovations like the SUNSON-Box and SUNSON-Tool to market, maximizing the potential of clean energy solutions in CSP, solar fuels, and energy storage markets. 💡🌍 A huge thank you to all the participants for their contributions, and to our host, Nuria Ferrera Lorenzo and IDENER´s collaborators (Ignacio Fernández-Pacheco Ruiz and Patricia Royo, for guiding us through this interactive session ❗ Exciting times ahead as we continue to drive innovation in renewable energy. 🌞⚡ #SUNSONProject #CleanEnergy #Innovation #ExploitationStrategy #CSP #RenewableEnergy #Collaboration Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, HOLOSS, IDENER.AI, @ionvacprocess, Plataforma Solar de Almería - CIEMAT
